2/16    I'm looking for information on network performance of FreeBSD.
        Specifically I'm wondering about the different x86 chips and how
        fast they have to be to fill up a 100bT or 1000bT pipe.  E.g., is
        it possible to do per packet filtering on a gige using a N mhz x86
        with freebsd?  Is there a web site that archives this kind of
        data?  I bet somebody must have done tests like this.  Thanks.
        \_ freebsd is gay, yo.
           \_ okay paolo ...
           \_ hi paolo
        \- we do packet filtering on fast nets with fleebsd. in my experience
        there are few generic answers. for one things it depends whether you
        are talking about "typical traffic" or whether someone can maliciously
        hose you. 100mb shouldnt be a problem on modern hw with normal traffic.
        ok tnx --psb
